WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has recently made public its final action
on three matters previously under review (MURs). This release contains only summary
information. Closed files should be thoroughly read for details, including the
FECs legal analysis of the case. (See footnote at the end of this release.)
Closed MUR files are available in the Public Records Office.

1. MUR 4583/Pre-MUR 332

RESPONDENTS: (a) The Embassy of India (DC)

(b) Davendra Singh (DC)

COMPLAINANTS: FEC Initiated (DC)

SUBJECT: Foreign national contributions; contributions in the names of others

DISPOSITION: (a-b) Probable cause to believe (knowing and willful)

Referred to DOJ, but DOJ advised FEC that matter was closed "without further
investigation or prosecution."

It requires the votes of at least four of the six Commissioners to take any action. The
FEC can close a case at any point after reviewing a complaint. If a violation is found and
conciliation cannot be reached, then the FEC can institute a civil court action against a
respondent.
